I’m looking to create a couple of accounts for #AppleNewton projects of mine that have had a long run over on “that other site.”
Which #retrocomputing friendly server instance would you recommend?
@splorp I'm firmly in the "Make your own" camp. But if you're going to pick one of the others, either bitbang or oldbytes seem to be pretty retro-heavy.
@yestergearpc I’m afraid I don’t have the necessary server chops to maintain my own instance. (My speed is more WebStar or MacHTTP on a PowerPC Mac.) Perhaps if I can partner with someone who loves that sort of thing.
@splorp That's completely fair. It wasn't the easiest system to bring online (but also very very far from the hardest). Found an online step-by-step for mine, and had no problems after I picked the proper version of Debian for "the fastest install". $30/yr with VPS and domain name.
Why I say DIY is: then you're in complete control, and nobody can pull the "Well, it was a good run but we're shutting down" on you.
I'd be happy to point you in the right direction if you decide to go that way
